Chapter 606

In front of Gumin Zeng stood a tall and thin young man. He looked like Gumin Zeng. Although he had a horse face, his facial features were regular and he had a unique charm. However, there was a hint of arrogance in his eyes. It was his second son, Gumin Bo, who cultivated in Gumgwang-Hole on Mount Wudang!

Gumin Bo nodded and said, "Fortunately, I did not disappoint you. The immortals have made a decision and are ready to intervene in this matter."

Speaking of this, he frowned slightly and said, "The process is quite strange. When I first returned to the mountain and reported to the immortals about the School of Mo, they did not agree with the direct intervention of the secluded Taoism in the secular world. Moreover, the Selection of the Virtuous and the abolition of the Transit Dues did not destroy the foundation of the Duke, so it is not against the descendants of the Immortals. If they study hard, why worry about not having a place to use their skills?"

The Duke was the aristocracy, but this was the name of some aristocrats.

Gumin Zeng stroked the most common long beard of this era and said slowly, "I was worried that the immortals would react in this way, so I did not act rashly and did not place all my hopes on them. Why did they change their minds later?"

"I do not know the reason. When I was first rejected, I begged but it was useless. I was quite desperate and could only stay on the mountain to persuade my fellow disciples. Seeing that the one-month deadline was approaching, I was about to return when I was suddenly summoned by the immortals. They said that the reform was indeed harmful to the Immortals and planned to send people to intervene." Until now, Gumin Bo was still confused. He did not know why the immortals suddenly changed their minds.

Gumin Zeng paced with his hands behind his back and said thoughtfully, "No one visited Gumgwang-Hole?"

His son had just entered the Exterior realm and coincidentally, his master was traveling. He did not have much influence in Gumgwang-Hole. If there was no outside help, there was no reason for the elders of Gumgwang-Hole to change their minds!

"No." Gumin Bo shook his head firmly. "At least not according to what I know."

He paused and said, "Anyway, the immortals have agreed to this matter and are ready to send a guru with a treasure. However, they said that the matter of Chen Di is still within the scope of normal state affairs. The Selection of the Virtuous is concentrated in the direct control of the King, so they did not directly abolish the Noble and Noble Salaries. Therefore, it is not justifiable for them to intervene in this matter. They will not directly use the banner of Gumgwang-Hole. As for how to do it, father, please tell me.

"It doesn't matter. Father has a plan." Gong Yangzeng rubbed his palms together and revealed a slightly happy expression as if everything was within his grasp.

Gumin Bo was about to ask about the plan when he suddenly remembered something and subconsciously lowered his voice. "Father, I heard from my fellow disciples that the abolition of the Transit Dues in Chen Di was highly praised by the King Chu. Several big aristocratic caravans have already obtained the first 'benefit' from it. Moreover, the Tang Empire did not oppose it and seemed to acquiesce to this change. It seems that some 'merchants' have come to try. If we set things right, I'm afraid we will be interfered with!"

In just a month, the effect of the abolition of the Transit Dues in Chen Di had not been fully revealed. However, because it was very close to the Chu Empire and the Tang Empire, especially the capital of the Chu Empire, many merchants had already made two trips there and experienced many benefits.

Similarly, Mengqi had only been lecturing in Chen Di for more than two months. Most of the aristocrats, scholars, and common people had learned words such as' benefit 'and' set things right ', as well as strange idioms such as' set things right '.

Hearing that, Gumin Zeng sighed, "I have to say that the Five Sons of Mohism, especially Sumo, are rare geniuses. The saying of 'mutual benefit' really refers to the way to get along with countries and people! This is beneficial to the Chu Empire and the Tang Empire. Naturally, they are happy to see it and want a share of it. Also, they can make some secret exchanges with us as a safe place. "

Hearing his father praising Sumo and confirming that interrupting the new national policy would lead to interference from the Chu Empire and the Tang Empire, Gumin Bo was stunned and asked, "Father, are we still doing it?"

Gumin Zeng looked at his proud son lovingly and said with a smile, "You are still too young and naive. When something that you oppose becomes stable, don't think about fighting it or overturning it. Instead, try to control it. In this way, you can eliminate the disadvantages and gain the benefits!"

"Try to control it?" Gumin Bo looked at his father in shock.

Gumin Zeng's expression became solemn and said, "The new national policy will not be abolished, but the people who will implement it should not be Sumo and the others, but us!"

Since Sumo said that the world's general trend is rolling forward, those who go with it will prosper, those who go against it will die, then we should not fight against it, but be its helmsman, borrowing its momentum to strengthen ourselves!

This … Gumin Bo understood the meaning of his father's words. For the first time, he understood what it meant to be an old fox, and what it meant to be a schemer. No wonder he had always been the mastermind of the three aristocrats!

"So, we still have to assassinate Sumo and the others?" Gumin Bo felt that he should do this, but he was afraid that he would guess his father's meaning wrongly, so his tone sounded a little timid.

Gumin Zeng laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. In the end, he said, "Why do we have to kill them? If we kill them, will it be our turn to control the new national policy? Moreover, after the incident with Tian Guang, Sumo and the others are extremely vigilant, and the King often watches over them. Unless the immortal master of Gumgwang-Hole can bring a Heavenly Weapon or a few Grand Shang Elders personally come! "

As he said this, his expression became solemn and said, "But they have a weakness, no, this is what they think is their strongest point, and they often use this to get protection, so their defense is relatively lax."

Gumin Bo's eyes widened, "Father, you, you mean the King!"

King Chen was a guru, the strongest person in Chen Land, and he was often the one who protected Mengqi and the others from being assassinated. His safety was the most easily neglected!

Gumin Zeng nodded solemnly, "Only by supporting the new emperor can the state affairs return to our hands. When the time comes, we will chase Sumo and the others away, and the new policy will naturally be in our hands."

He did not show the slightest bit of hesitation, and his crazy counterattack left even Gumgwang-Bo dumbfounded.

"But, but the palace has a great formation, the King has a superb Precious Weapon, and he is a guru himself. Unless the immortal master of Gumgwang-Hole can bring a Heavenly Weapon or a few Grand Shang Elders personally come, otherwise …" he muttered to himself, repeating his father's words.

Gumin Zeng smiled, "This is something that needs to be considered in a direct confrontation. The Tian family and the Wang family have been in business for many generations, how can they not have some secret arrangements? You can ask the immortal master of Gumgwang-Hole, if he can sneak into the palace, and with the help of the Deity Calming Incense, what are the chances of him taking down the King?"

"The Tian family, the Wang family, and the Deity Calming Incense?" Gumin Bo asked in surprise.

Gumin Zeng nodded, "We have already discussed this!"

Gumin Bo was stunned, and suddenly said through gritted teeth,

"If I still can't take him down, then I don't deserve to be called a guru!"

…

The Grand Minister's Mansion was close to the palace, and under the watch of King Chen, it appeared to be impregnable.

"There are no military movements in the fiefs of the three aristocrats, so it seems that there will be no civil war for a while." Mengqi took out the intelligence reports from several followers of the School of Mo who had sneaked into the fiefs.

Jiang Zhiwei frowned and said, "But they are too quiet and obedient. Other than the secret meeting after Tian Guang's death, there has been no movement. If we don't take it seriously, we will be in trouble when the time comes."

"But we can't find out what they want to do …" Zhao Heng said in distress, "Unfortunately, the Heavenly Knowing skill that Meng saw from the memory of Qian Li Yan is incomplete, and can only be cultivated with talent. Otherwise, we can spy on Gumin Zeng and the others."

Through Meng Qi's patient guidance, Meng Qi's usual form of address finally settled on Little Meng.

Ruan Yushu suddenly said, "What about Gumgwang-Hole of Mount Wudang?"

"What about the aristocrats of Chu State who are on good terms with the Tian family?" Qi Zhengyan asked.

Mengqi looked at the report in his hand and said, "These aristocrats of Chu State have been specially taken care of by us and have gained a lot. They are quite satisfied and have already sent someone to hint that I will not interfere in this matter."

"As for Gumgwang-Hole of Mount Wudang, it is a secret Taoist sect whose location is difficult to find. We only know that the second legitimate son of Gumin Zeng, Gumin Bo, returned to Mount Wudang a few days ago and returned yesterday. But he did not follow anyone else, so we can't see the attitude of Gumgwang-Hole."

"You can even find out about this?" Zhao Heng looked at Mengqi in surprise. He could even know the whereabouts of an expert of the Exterior like the back of his hand!

Mengqi smiled and said, "No matter how much we change our School of Mo's doctrine, Love with Impartiality and Not Fatalism, is closer to the common people of the lower class. Recently, they have also gained a lot of 'benefits'. Therefore, there are many righteous men of the Gong family, the Tian family, and the Wang family who have passed on the news. Hehe, Gumin Bo has to rest, cultivate, and be served after he returns home. How can there be no clues?"

This is the vast ocean of the people's war!

It was a pity that he had not reached this level a month ago. Otherwise, he might have a glimpse of the contents of the secret talks of the three families!

"In short, we have to be careful of Gumgwang-Hole. It would be best if we could remind King Chen to ask the King Chu for help. It's a pity that we haven't seen any 'benefits' before, so we can't get the King Chu's praise. Otherwise, we would have been rid of all future troubles." Zhao Heng was surprised by the development of the followers of the School of Mo.

King Chen had no relationship with Gumgwang-Hole, so it would be difficult for him to find someone with enough influence to persuade them.

Mengqi smiled and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking."

As soon as he finished speaking, an envoy arrived outside, saying that King Chen had invited him to discuss state affairs.

"What a coincidence." Mengqi laughed and led Jiang Zhiwei and the others to the palace, leaving Bai Song, Zhao Bai, and Wang Qi to manage the affairs of the Situ Mansion.

The sky was dark. Although there was a howling wind, it was oppressive and heavy, as if a storm was coming.

Such weather made Mengqi's mood gloomy, but he didn't care because there was no sign of danger.

As they approached the palace, the guards in front of them checked the identity of the visitors.

It was a slightly childish face that Mengqi was familiar with. It was Tian Kuo, the youngest son of the former Minister of Justice, Tian Heng. He had passed the test and was recommended as a new follower of the School of Mo. He was not an ordinary noble!

He was already a Minister of Justice. Why was he here as a guard?

Tian Kuo looked at Mengqi with a gloomy expression. He lowered his left hand and made a gesture that was common among the followers of the School of Mo.

It meant: extreme danger!

Leave quickly? Danger? Mengqi was shocked. His Eight Nine Mysteries could not sense anything?

Could it be that there was someone much more powerful than him hiding from Heaven?

Was this the reason for the weather?

The more dangerous the situation was, the calmer Mengqi's expression became. There was a change in the palace, but what about King Chen?

He secretly used "Yuxu Divination" to predict King Chen's safety.

Vague? No conclusion?

Vague would be the biggest anomaly … Mengqi didn't have time to think about it. He sent a voice transmission to Jiang Zhiwei and the others.

"Let's go! It's too late! "

In the blink of an eye, Mengqi took Qi Zhengyan, Jiang Zhiwei took Ruan Yushu, and Zhao Heng alone. They turned around and fled at lightning speed!

As soon as the three conveyances took off, the person sitting in the palace sensed them immediately. He stood up, holding a longbow in his hand. Golden light condensed into a sharp arrow!

Meanwhile, in the Situ Mansion, Bai Song was reading a secret report that had just been sent to him: the servants of the three aristocratic families had discovered unusual movements in their mansions at night!

"Quick, stop Mr. Su and the others!" He suddenly raised his head and looked at Wang Qi and Zhao Bai.
